Moose in The Mist

My father used to take me with him on hunting trips. I was only four or
five years old and he never ever killed anything when I was with him,
but we used to call them hunting trips anyway. One early morning we came
to the edge of a clearing where there was a large swampy area. The mist
was rising off the water and there was a moose standing a little ways
from us just looking at us. We were very quiet and he stood there for a
long time just looking and eating grassy things from the water. There
was water dripping off his chin. I have tried a few times to paint the
picture that's in my head but I have never gotten it right. Not to
please me anyway. This is one of my better attempts, I really think I
will get it just right one of these days because I can see it so clear
in my mind.

Codes for life

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't.

Sarah and her dog

Hi everyone, this is a photo of Sarah, my little niece, and her dog Bandit. Bandit was born with only one eye, and when he was five years old the SPCA got him. His owners and family got a new puppy and decided they no longer wanted Bandit The SPCA didn’t think they would ever find a home for him but then Bandit and Sarah met each other and it was love at first sight. They are always together and Bandit waits by the window when it’s time for Sarah to come from school. It’s a throw away world we live in people.
